Shameful Van Sant
Portland is understandably proud that top Hollywood director Gus Van Sant calls the Rose City home. But Van Sant should be ashamed of his latest movie, which hits theaters tonight. It’s original script called for star Matt Damon, representing the evil energy companies that heat our homes and power our cars, to lie to simple farmers and buy their land for evil fracking to produce natural gas. The main lie is that fracking is destructive, dangerous and even deadly. But there’s a problem with that. the outgoing director of the EPA under President Obama recently had to admit to congress, quote, “there are no proven cases where fracking has affected water”. And it turns out that some of the environmental groups have played fast and loose with the truth. And the truth is that natural gas has fallen dramatically in price, which benefits electric production and industry and your ability to live in a house warmed by gas. So they quickly rewrote the movie…Damon is still a bad guy…and the environmental crusader in the movie turns out to be an evil energy company shill. If you are a greenie who likes tree hugging propaganda…you’re gonna love it.
